Barbara Ann Stanopiewicz Bierasinski Narducci, 79, of Harborcreek, formerly of North East, passed away on Thursday, October 14, 2021, after courageously suffering a lifetime of illness.
She was born in Erie on December 21, 1941, a daughter of the late Francis Joseph and Irene (Wiercinski) Stanopiewicz. This year would have been her 80th birthday.
Barbara graduated from St. Stanislaus class of 1955 and East High School class of 1959. She attended Gannon College from 1974 - 1976 in accounting. Barbara served on various class reunion committees and was chairperson for the East High Warriors Class of 1959. She also organized and founded the East High Girl's Luncheon Class of 1959, twelve years ago.
She worked as an Office Manager at various companies both in Los Angeles and Erie. She had the privilege to keep financial records for the late Rev. Charles Kennedy and Mrs. Rose Kennedy, founders of "The Community of Caring". She retired from Erie Yacht Club as the office manager in 1981 to begin another family. Barbara was formerly a member of St. Gregory's Catholic Church in North East and currently a member of St. Mark the Evangelist Catholic Church in Lawrence Park. She also served as a Eucharistic Minister for homebound parishioners. Her faith was a very important part of her life, including her favorite saint, Padre Pio. She enjoyed spending time with her family including cooking and playing games such as dominoes.
Barbara is preceded in death by her parents, Francis Joseph and Irene (Wiercinski) Stanopiewicz, one brother Francis Robert Stanopiewicz in 1997, a precious infant daughter, Angelina in 1987, and her beloved son, Robert H.

In July 2006, they celebrated their 25th anniversary with renewal of their vows with Bishop Trautman officiating.
